DOING THE RIGHT THING

Our cinemas are at the heart of every community we operate in.

As part of our strategy to improve guest experience and engage our colleagues, we have a Corporate Responsibility (CR) strategy we call 'Doing the right thing'.

It sets out clear promises, which coordinate responsible business practice and strong governance and is made up of five principal pillars.

OUR COMMUNITY

Placing cinemas at the heart of our communities

We are dedicated to helping others and raising money for good causes. In each of our markets, we support either a dedicated charity or partner with specific organisations where we can make a noticeable difference.

We aim to deliver a first class experience for all our guests, irrespective of any disability. We are always looking for new ways to improve accessibility for all guests across our group.

Our Cinesa team in Spain cut electricity consumption by 13.5% in three years, resulting in a 22% cost saving. In Italy, our teams achieved a €1.4m cost reduction in three years, and in Sweden, our team reduced energy consumption by 6.7% 2017 vs 2016.

OUR ENVIRONMENT

Using inspired thinking to tread lightly

We find new ways to improve our energy efficiency and recycling levels, reduce carbon emissions, water use and packaging.

Our Milton Keynes cinema is ‘lit by the sun’ with 286m surface area of solar panels providing 85% of the electricity used to light the building. The cinema recycles 90% of its waste and water consumption has been reduced by approximately 40% due to low flush toilets.

In Sweden, our new recycling stations offer guests six different recycling options and we are phasing out plastic gift cards in favour of cardboard/digital cards. In Germany we have developed a fully recyclable FSC certified nachos tray, meaning we’ll save 22 tonnes of plastic waste each year!

ODEON in the UK once again achieves the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon

OUR PEOPLE

Our people deliver our vision of creating inspiring entertainment experiences for every guest and our values create a great place to work. Our Organisational Health Index (OHI) survey, a measure of how our colleagues feel about working with us, has shown unprecedented improvement as we rose from third quartile in 2014 to top decile in 2017.

ODEON in the UK has once again been ranked #25 in the Sunday Times Best Big Companies to Work For 2018 and ranked 15th Best Large Workplace in Ireland.
